The Cubs have come good!

All to play for tomorrow ... one curse will be over whilst the other will live on. 

Game 7's don't get any better than this one.

I'm a 28 year Cubs fan and cannot wait for tomorrow. I haven't missed a Cubs post season game this year.

I'm taking half a day off work to go home, crack a beer and watch it! They just need to hit their way past Kluber!

GO CUBS!!!

Game 6 highlights ...

 

 

Feels awful as a Tribe fan, especially losing to a team that spent $70 million more on its roster by 1 run in Game 7. Next year I suppose.

That was one hell of a series ... Cleveland fought hard but fell just short.  It's often a fine line between ultimate victory & despair.  Hopefully they'll get back to the big stage again sooner rather than later.

The story was always going to be centred around the Cubs though and they finally broke their curse.  To come back from a 3-1 deficit was a grand effort.  Kudos.

As Demons supporters, we know that feeling all too well. I'm happy that the Cubs won, but would really like to see a hard salary cap introduced into the MLB.

Yankees get through in the AL after defeating the Twins today ... next up for New York is Cleveland.  My lads (the Redsox) play Houston.  Best of 5 in the first phase can be over very quickly if the road team doesn't win 1 of the first 2 games (or vice-versa)

Over in the NL the Dodgers await the winner of the other wild-card playoff game (Colorado @ Arizona)  In the other DS match-up,  its the Cubs @ Washington.  

I favour the Dodgers,  Cubs,  Yankees & Boston to get through to the CS.  Well, that's my ideal set of match-ups anyway.

Nice start by the Tribe today. Back at it again tomorrow with Kluber on the mound.

Dodgers through to the WS and we await the result of the Houston/Yankees ALCS for their opponent.  The MLB would almost certainly prefer an LA vs NY match-up but Houston is the USA's 4th largest market. 

Game 6 in the ALCS and it's still scoreless (top of the 5th) ... the Yankees lead the series 3 - 2.  Sabathia throws for the Yankees tomorrow if it goes to game 7.

Interesting to see after ending a 86 year bambino curse in 2004 the Red Sox have now won 4 World Series in under 15 years making them the most successful baseball team in the 21st century 

Whilst not a huge baseball fan I’ve always had a soft spot for Boston as a team because of some the many similarities to the dees , notably the colours and also given their history and how they were waiting so long to end their drought of success for their die hard fans 

we can only hope the mighty demons can follow and once the drought ends , the floodgates might then open again

Well I'll take some sporting joy elsewhere anytime Dd82 ... the  Red Sox had a dominant season and were fully deserved victors.  I'm the first to admit that we have a salary cap advantage over many of our rivals but you've still got to get it done.

The curse of the babe is well and truly a thing of the past now.  Hopefully our Demons can break our own curse (if it exists!) sometime very soon. 

All I’ll say is great achievement by the Sox. Hopefully Fenway Sports Group can now bring Liverpool a title!

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
